I know, I got like 400 hours in it.
Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars.

this is like, totally out of left field.
but if you want to live out the whole apocalypse scavenger, doomsday prepper fantasy. Project Zomboid and its mods are a great game for that.

PZ is set in 1993 though. And for some reason their 1993 does not have bicycles.
DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 days ago
a bicycle mod literally just came out a week or so ago

There’s always been one. It’s not a completely integrated experience though.

There’s been a mod that adds motorcycles and ATVs too but it’s clunky. I haven’t bothered to test the new versions but it used to be that you could only get on and off the bike from one side

No idea if build 42 has bikes in them yet, but with all the work they’re putting into the game I can imagine that they’re eventually going to put in different forms of transportation.
Bikes, skateboards and motor cycles have already been modded in but official support would always be nice.
In writing this comment I thought about with the new metalworking and smiting coming in, building a handcar for railroad tracks would be awesome and would put use to the basically useless railway system they have on the map now.

B42 is sadly going in the wrong direction currently. It’s addressing a lot of early and mid game stuff that allows you to basically just fuck off into the woods. But end game is still dull.

Yea true, not going to say you’re wrong but I feel like they’re making the bones of the game really solid and from there, branching out. The basements and the high rise buildings are going to be crazy imo, and the new skill tree and class reworks are going to give it a solid foundation, not to mention overhauling how weapons shoot. Them adding in NPCs is also a step in the right direction for making the game more interactive.
Let’s hope the can pad out the end game. Because like you said it’s kind of dull after a certain point. But I feel like with any sandbox game, you have to make your own goals and fun - and those experiences are always better with friends.
I do think they have the right ideas, it’s just a matter of time and implementation.

Just gotta find a server with one of the mods…

The best part of PZ modding is how little you have to do. Boot the regular game and click multiplayer and just join a modded server. The game will download, install, and apply a few hundred mods without you doing anything.
